Whether you knew it already or not, today is National Cat Day. According to NationalCatDay.com (because what other source would you trust with accurate information on this holiday?), the day was founded in 2005 by Pet and Family Lifestyle Expert & Animal Welfare Advocate Colleen Paige in an effort to encourage prospective cat owners to adopt rescues and to give fur mommies another annual excuse to pamper their babies. Today, we’re taking to the internet, trying to help spread the celebration message. But also just using it as an excuse to look at cats wearing clothes. Either way, you’re welcome. Now, to the cat pix.

1. Check out this guy who’s ready for a fancy meal.

2. This one could be modeling for Marc by Marc Jacobs circa Spring/Summer 2013.

3. This dude in a leather moto t-shirt is one tough hombre.

4. But this one with a helmet looks ready for the open road.

5. Two kittens in knit frog hats are definitely better than one.

6. And this selfless cat actually wants to celebrate you today.

7. Not sure I’ve ever even seen a human do the Western look this well.

Here Are 3 Easy Ways To Dress Like Kanye West This Halloween

by Gaby Wilson 19 mins ago
Listen, we’re big fans of Kanye West, so the idea of dressing like him has crossed our minds more than a few times even outside of Halloween. Granted, he’s a fashion god, so it’s difficult to get that exact level of swag down, but for Halloween, you’re allowed a little latitude so long as you hit an approximation of the look. Enter us bearing the following Kanye West costume ideas. You might not be able to get your hands on a real Margiela mask, but with a little elbow grease, we’ll get you pretty darn close.

Margiela Masked Kanye

The outfit itself is fairly simple to replicate since Ye is big into minimalism right now, but you’ll need a crafty hand and this tutorial to really nail the gem-laden Margiela face-covering. The clothes (shoes, especially) might be a bit of an investment, but the good news is: They’re so cool, you’ll WANT to wear them long after Halloween.
+ Jacket: Forever 21 Colorblocked Bomber Jacket ($33)
+ Shirt: KNYEW E-Long Scoop Tee ($48)
+ Pants: Drifter Cade Sweatpants ($80)

+ Duct Tape: Staples Utility Duct Tape ($9)

This Beyonce Fanfic Is Basically The Fashion Version Of Chuck Norris Facts

by Gaby Wilson 27 mins ago
If you’re anything like me, you spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what Beyonce might be doing at any given moment. For example, this weekend, I was walking around the Tribeca neighborhood of NYC (where Bey and Jay reportedly live), and immediately upon exiting the subway and hitting the cobblestone walks, I wondered, “Is this a street Beyonce takes or does she make sure to avoid it because the uneven walk is treacherous when she’s in Louboutins? OR better yet, does she actually just glide over roads and walkways without setting foot on them?”

If you, too, are prone to this hyperbolic imagining of Beyonce’s life as Queen of Everything™, then this Twitter just might be for you. Basically, the highly LOL account—run by fashion devotee and funny dude Spencer Niemetz—dispatches fictional updates on Beyonce’s life off stage and out of the public eye. The result is basically the fashion version of those Chuck Norris facts that swept the internet in the late 2000s.

We find out what Beyonce does with Coach handbags:

And how she handles upsetting news:

We find out what’s really in her bag:

We’re let in on her magic beauty secrets:

We’re jealous of this special power the most, TBH:

She sends dressing room pics to friends to help her shop:

And we realize that sometimes Bey just has different shopping woes:

And doing her hair goes differently:

Getting dressed goes a little differently, too:

Sure, she keeps a mirror in her purse, just like ...

Justin Bieber’s New Hairstyle Is Really Speaking To Me

by Gaby Wilson 23 mins ago
Some artists are defined by their iconic outfits. Take Michael Jackson and his band jackets for example. Or Madonna and that inimitable Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra. Others have signature hairstyles they will always be known for. Lady Gaga has her hair bow, and no matter how much older he gets or how his mane changes, the “Justin Bieber haircut” will always look like this:

NBC

Those swoopy banged days are over (and have been for a few years now, TBH), but that doesn’t keep me from paying attention to his every snip and split end to this day. What’s the latest in breaking Bieber hair news? This Adidas headbanded style. It’s a whole lotta look:

Justin Bieber's Shots

This isn’t the first time Biebsy has dabbled in headbands. There have been skinny elastic ones and paisley 2Pac-channelling bandana ones, but this sweatband he wore for a quick trip to the mall and also posed in for a Shots selfie is reeeeeeally speaking to me. What’s it saying? Oh, y’know, a bunch of stuff!

Here’s a sampling:

I’m what you might call an “eligible bachelor” now.

In other words, hey, ladies!

Harry Styles thinks he’s the only one who can wear a headband? Pffft, bye.

Here’s A Way You And All Your Friends Can Be Beyonce For Halloween

Halloween is tough as it is.

4 Easy ‘American Horror Story’ Halloween Costumes You Can Totally Do Yourself

by Gaby Wilson 1 min ago
Think putting together a costume that’s both spooky and culturally relevant is impossible? Look no further than the veritable hot bed of inspiration that is American Horror Story. Specifically, this Freak Show season which (finally!!!) premiered last night. If you’re looking to let your freak flag fly this All Hallows’ Eve, here are four DIY costume ideas that are totally easy.

KATHY BATES

Truth be told, you could just slap on a beard and that would be that, but this is also a pretty good excuse to cop that fringed statement piece you’ve been eyeing all summer. Just be sure to practice your Pennsylvania-by-way-of-Kathy-Bates accent.
+ WRAP DRESS: $85.69

+ LACE KIMONO JACKET: $59.99

+ HEADBAND: $4.80

+ NECKLACE: $9.50

+ BEARD: $9.99

ANGELA BASSETT

She may not make her episodic debut until next week, but Angela Bassett’s three breasted woman might be the MOST culturally relevant look of the bunch. This one will take a little finessing of the fake chest plates, but if you layer them and pop over a bandeau, you’ll be making headlines in no time.
+ SUPER DROOPER BOOBS: $9.99

+ LEOPARD BELT: $10.90

+ FISHNET CROPTOP: $15.80

+ BANDEAU: $3.80

+ FLORAL SKIRT: $19.90

+ CURLERS: $8.99

The Definitive Style Ranking Of ‘Hocus Pocus’ Characters

by Gaby Wilson 1 hour ago
Smell that? That odor of candy corn wafting through the air means Halloween is upon us. And if you’re anything like me, that probably means you’re coordinating your annual Hocus Pocus viewing party right about now. It’s just one of those feel-good seasonal movies about women coming back from the dead to eat children’s souls that you can’t not watch year after year after year, you know?

It’s also a timeless classic that boasts some of film’s most fashionable fictional characters. In honor and support of that FACT, here’s the definitive style ranking of the biggest Hocus Pocus characters, according to me. (If you have re-ranking suggestions, you can try taking them up with me in the comments or on Twitter, but … *achem*)

21. Emily Binx

Disney

She doesn’t get much air time (SPOILER ALERT: she dies pretty early), but that’s not why she’s ranked so low. There’s just not a whole lot to this look. And sure, Chanel Paris-Dallas is sort of bringing back Puritan chic, but I’m just not buying it. BYE EMILY!
20. Book

Disney

Buhhhh, OK, for starters Book is made of HUMAN SKIN, so goodbye. But also, Celtic accessories (or are these considered tattoos??? IDK) are soooo early aughts. I guess given that this movie premiered in the early ’90s, that makes Book ahead of the trend, but this is 2014 and I’m saying no to you, Book.
19. Fake Cop

Disney

Hear me out on this one. I understand ...

Indie Band YACHT Releases Super Cool Sunglasses Collaboration

by Gaby Wilson 27 mins ago
Amidst the Nicki Minaj-for-Target and Kanye West-for-A.P.C. collections of the world, seeing an indie band get into the collaborative design game feels pretty darn unique. That’s why we were so stoked to find out that YACHT was teaming up with Chilli Beans eyewear for a special range of sunglasses.

Courtesy of Chilli Beans

The band’s “Make Your Face Smile” collection features 11 different shades which take classic shapes and apply YACHT’s unique aesthetic spin—all crisp and clean, all black and white. And there’s something for everyone, from the timeless go-to style of The Black Standard ($65) to the kitschy novelty Eskimo Glasses ($65).

Courtesy of Chilli Beans

YACHT cites a variety of inspirations for the collection like Yayoi Kusama, Milan’s Memphis Collective, and the translucent straps of Swatch watches in the ’90s, but always infused with the duo’s unique point of view. There are hidden third-eyes in certain frames, and some standard temple screws are replaced with triangles. “Whenever we’re designing anything,” explained Jona Bechtolt, “we look at something and what’s already in place and think about how we can make them more interesting or break them.”

Courtesy of Chilli Beans

This marks the second time YACHT has surprised us with a curveball foray into the fashion and beauty space—the first being the band’s rollerball Shangri-La perfume, which Jona and Claire created with OLO in timing with their ...

#TBT: That Time Will Smith Perfectly Explained Shopping With Your Parents

by Gaby Wilson 3 mins ago
Today is Will Smith‘s birthday. In honor of this blessed day (and #TBT), we’ve decided to take a look back at one of the Fresh Prince’s most timeless classics: “Parents Just Don’t Understand.” Not only does its video feature the coolest bedroom in the history of ever, the song outlines exactly how every style-conscious teen (this writer included—sorry, Mom!) has felt AT SOME POINT about shopping with their parents.

I remember one year
My mom took me school shopping
It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister
All hopped in the car—we headed downtown to the Gallery Mall

Jive Records

My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
I didn’t say nothing at first—I just turned up my nose
She said, “What’s wrong? This shirt cost $20″
I said, “Mom, this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar!”

Jive Records

The next half hour was the same old thing
My mother buying me clothes from 1963

Jive Records

And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips!

Jive Records

I said, “Mom, what are you doing, you’re ruining my rep”
She said, “You’re only sixteen, you don’t have a rep yet”
I said, “Mom, let’s put these clothes back, please”
She said “no, you go to school to learn not for a fashion show”

Jive Records

I said, “This isn’t Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I’m not Bowzer
Mom, please put back the bell-bottom ...
